"Tottenham Hotspur Vs Chelsea" Harry Redknapp’s team is looking for seventh home victory in a row in the English Premier League football game. Tottenham Hotspur (3rd) and Chelsea FC (4th) will kicks off 20:00 GMT tonight (22 December 2011) at White Hart Lane, England.

Spurs and Chelsea are apparently on a rush up the premiership table, and routing for the heels of the two Manchester clubs that is until recent losses brought their great form to an end.

Tottenham Hotspur has one of the best attacking line ups in the country and probably the world. As their exit from the Europa League will make then focus heavily on the Premiership battle. Spurs are currently third place in the table with 34 points, but a match-less (15), because of the postponed first round game with Everton.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp men have played 7 Premier League games this season on White Hart Lane. On home ground, Hotspur has won 6, drawn 0 and lost 1 games, and this ranked Spurs 2nd in home team performance in the English Premier League.

Harry Redknapp side has doubts over winger Gareth Bale (ankle), while manager Harry Redknapp is definitely without Aaron Lennon (hamstring).

Chelsea did not start this premiership season well, as they were supposed to, and currently the side is taking the 4th position with 32 points in 16 games. During the same time last season, the team actually had worse stats, having 30 points after 16 games and an away record of W3 D2 L3, scoring 12 goals and conceding 7 in those games.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas men have played 8 Premier League games this season away from home. On away ground, Chelsea has won 4, drawn 2 and lost 2 games, and this ranked the Blues 5th in away team performance in the English Premier League.

Chelsea trip to White Hart Lane with skipper John Terry (Achilles injury) fit and set to start the game despite being charged on Wednesday with racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.

Probable Line-Ups:

Tottenham Hotspur: Friedel, Walker, King, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto, Van der Vaart, Parker, Modric, Bale, Defoe and Adebayor.

Chelsea FC: Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Romeu, Meireles, Sturridge, Drogba and Mata.
